Week 5 tournaments are primed to be unique.

We have only one game with a high over/under (52.5, DAL-GB), we have three games projected to be low-scoring (under 40 projected points), and then a swath of games projected to be in the mid-40s — about average.

In other words, there’s only one “hey, I want to target that game” game this week. Fantasy scoring might not be any lower, but this is shaping up to be a week in which contrarian play styles will reign in GPPs.

The Box: The first row within each tier represents the average salary of every player in that tier. The second row represents the average projected fantasy points for every player in that tier. The third row is the average value of each player in that tier (points/salary*1000). The Box is also color coordinated within each position throughout the tiers.
